Neuropathy can present with many different symptoms, including numbness, the painof different types, weakness, or loss of balance, depending on the type of nerve involved. Because the autonomic nerves control bodily functions that we do not consciously think of, such asheartrate,digestion, and emp...
Balance control in peripheral neuropathy: are patients equally unstable under static and dynamic conditions? Gait Posture. 23(3):364-73, 2006.Nardone A, Grasso M, Schieppati M.

3,16 This unsteadiness leads to balance problems, increasing the risk of falls. Neuropathy has been identified as one of the three main risk factors for falls in patients with diabetes; diabetic patients with DPN are three times more likely to fall than those with no evidence of neuropathy.17...
What is peripheral neuropathy (PN)?PN is a type of nerve damage that can develop when your peripheral nerves are damaged. Peripheral nerves are located outside of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves send information from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. Damage to ...
Learn the risk factors and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, nerve damage that is a common diabetes complication.
Early symptoms of peripheral neuropathy include pain, burning, loss of sensation, diminished tendon reflexes, weakness, and bone deformities. If autonomic nerves are affected, signs and symptoms may include alterations in heat tolerance and sweating, bowel or bladder problems, digestive problems, and ...
Host genetic variability has been implicated in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). A dose-limiting toxicity for chemotherapy agents, CIPN is also a debilitating condition that may progress to chronic neuropathic pain. We utilized a bioinf
Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage most often felt in the body’s extremities. It occurs along the peripheral nerves that carry signals between the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, skin, and internal organs. When it first develops, people often report an itching, tingling or prickling ...

Poor balance control and increased fall risk have been reported in people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Traditional body sway measures are unable to describe underlying postural control mechanism. In the current study, we used stabilogram diffusion analysis to examine the mechanism under ...
